Abstract
There is provided with a control apparatus of an image processing system. The image processing system has a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that capture images of an object from different viewpoints. An obtaining unit obtains a position of the object. A setting unit sets, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with similarity between a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to the image capturing apparatus and a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to another image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses.
Claims16
A control apparatus of an image processing system which comprises a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that capture images of an object from different viewpoints, the control apparatus comprising:
- one or more memory devices storing one or more programs;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively connected to the one or more memory devices and configured by the one or more programs at least to:
- obtain a position of the object;
- and
- set, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with similarity between a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to the image capturing apparatus and a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to another image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses,
- wherein the priority indicates priority of transfer or storage of the captured image.
A control apparatus of an image processing system which comprises a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that are arranged to surround a field in which an object exists and to capture images of the object from different viewpoints, the control apparatus comprising:
- one or more memory devices storing one or more programs;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively connected to the one or more memory devices and configured by the one or more programs at least to:
- obtain a position of the object;
- and
- set, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with the position of the object in the field.
A control method of an image processing system which comprises a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that capture images of an object from different viewpoints, the control method comprising:
- obtaining a position of the object;
- and
- setting, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with similarity between a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to the image capturing apparatus and a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to another image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses,
- wherein the priority indicates priority of transfer or storage of the captured image.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which, when executed by a computer comprising a processor and a memory, causes the computer to perform a control method of an image processing system which comprises a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that capture images of an object from different viewpoints, the control method comprising:
- obtaining a position of the object;
- and
- setting, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with similarity between a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to the image capturing apparatus and a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to another image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses,
- wherein the priority indicates priority of transfer or storage of the captured image.
